"Walsh has made a valuable, groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of intelligence sharing." — Political Science Quarterly
"The International Politics of Intelligence Sharing offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of international intelligence." — Maj. Daniel Sennott, USA, Military Review
"This book explores what other works on intelligence either fail to mention or only touch upon . . . It is a valuable work that adds a new dimension to the literature." — Choice
"After two big American intelligence failures in 2001 and 2002, reform legislation placed an extraordinarily high premium on improving intelligence sharing. In the large volume of academic studies on intelligence, however, that topic has remained almost untouched. This important book fills this vacant niche with an analysis that is theoretically informed, well illustrated by case studies, and practically relevant in its conclusions." — Richard K. Betts, author of Enemies of Intelligence: Knowledge and Power in American National Security
"By devising a systematic explanation for the occurrence and form of intelligence collaboration, James Igoe Walsh makes a lasting contribution to intelligence studies and the broader field of international relations theory. The fact that his volume explores the history of intelligence sharing and contemporary intelligence cooperation related to the European Union, counter-narcotics operations in Colombia, and counterterrorism, makes the International Politics of Intelligence Sharing all the more interesting and policy relevant." — James J. Wirtz, Naval Postgraduate School
